Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie filling
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.25 cup water

Equipment

  • 1 9x5 inch Loaf Pan
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Make a well in the center.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, and water until fully combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: Mix only until the flour is just incorporated. This is the key to a tender, not tough, bread.
Check Doneness: If the top is browning too fast, loosely tent it with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Cooling is Key: Letting the bread cool completely ensures clean slices and prevents it from falling apart.
